What was your best ride in 2016?

What was your best motorcycle trip this year?

Our 2016 highlight was riding the Kola Highway in Russia: from St. Petersburg along the two biggest lakes of Europe and the White Sea across the arctic circle to Murmansk and beyond.
We started the trip in SPB on 21st of June with the intension to experience the “white nights” full force. For the next three weeks the sun never went down for us. Definitly an exceptional experience!

Cheers

Panny

Ten weeks and 12 k kms around New Zealand on a Suzuki Dr 650 bought for the occasion was definetively a highlight. Camped for the most in the amazing scenery there.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
